About the EU Drone License

For most drones you need the EU Drone License. It consists of two parts: the basic certificate A1-A3, required for every drone from 250 grams, and the additional certificate A2, which lets you fly a drone with a C2 label closer to people. You get both online: the training follows the EU (EASA) rules, you take the official exam from home and your certificate is valid for 5 years in 31 European countries.

Drone Class is one of Europe's leading drone training providers. More than 75,000 pilots have trained with us: private pilots, companies and government organisations. 95% pass first time and pilots rate the training 4.9/5. Meet the team.

A very comprehensive and well thought out course. I did not expect it to be so enjoyable. I particularly liked the quizes at the end of each module and the practice exams which prepared you well for the final exam. Thank you !
